If Shipka was 6 mil before, and you could trade a Shipka for 2 DRs, that puts DRs at about 3 mil each.
If you auction a Shipka for 2 mil, that is going to reduce the price of the Shipka, but it's also going to reduce the "price" of those 2 DRs to about 1 mil each.
This is the effect that we saw as a result of the auctions.

lol what? People don't rank items based on what they're worth in other items, they give them a number (50k, 100k, and so on). If someone trades 2 DRs for a Shipka, it's not because a "shipka is worth 2 DRs", but because a Shipka is worth 2 mil and a DR is worth 1 mil. We get the numbers for items based on what people offer us, and if there's less to offer that number goes down.
From my own personal experience, everything has lowered. I can pay less for just about any gun (I've been on merchanting my items everyday for the last week or so) and I'm also getting offered far less than I used to for my items.
The price changes could very well be from some other factor, like duping (increase in item supply), but it's a simple economic principle that a decrease in the money supply will increase the value of the dollar. I'm just going by the facts, and the fact is that there's far less money than there used to be.
